What reading level is Literary Rambles At Home And Abroad book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The population has multiplied since Shakespeare' s time, and some of the fields through which he strayed have disappeared beneath modern dwellings ; but the lapsing centuries have spared many of the structures he knew, and the old house in Hen- ley Street, hallowed by tradition as his birthplace, is religiously preserved. Its half-timbered, rough- plastered walls and massive chimney-pile are likely to endure through other centuries to come. Beneath this roof-tree we are received more like guest...s than tourists, and the sympathetic demeanor of the custo- dians, the familiar aspect of the rooms and the precious associations of which we are joint inher- itors with the whole English-speaking race, make this seem less a "show-place" than many others to which our rambles lead. 123 Literary Rambles Here we see the family room with its low ceiling and massive beams, its rude stone pavement broken during the occupancy of the room as a butcher-shop and its huge fireplace with a seat wrought in the masonry whereon the lad Shake- speare may have often sat, linking fancy unto fancy as he gazed upon the images in the fire.
